Silver Meteor

Thought you were joking until I looked it up ...

Anyone else watching the July 5th fireworks in DC? Going to be a lot of exhausted people tonight.

Atlantic: 10/5/2 ACE 82

And an Azores Low?

Would love to have one right now because it's roasting here in Eastern N.C. (Worse yet it will be four more days before we break below 90F for a high.) Sure hope this is not a sign of things to come for the next several months. SIGH.

Snowing nicely in Utah's Wasatch Mountains tonight. https://www.brightonresort.com/conditions

Some good replies on this one (especially the one about banks): https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2055376238345076837

Cold and cloudy for the East, warm, sunny and dry for the West, that pretty much describes this winter. Snowfall in the Rockies has been much below normal with some resorts now closing early. Brighton, Utah which I follow regularly has had 233" of snow so far while the full season average is 500". Down in the Salt Lake Valley my cousin says only 1" this winter. Could be water shortages ahead. Currently an historic heat wave is underway with temps at monthly extremes. Here in Eastern North Carolina 28F yesterday and 30F this morning, very cold for us. https://www.powder.com/news/lake-tahoe-resorts-close-heat-wave

Watching the radar over Delaware last night I noticed "yellow sparkles" showing up with some of the most intense and persistent snow bands. They matched up well with the areas of highest reported snow, especially the Seaford to Laurel area.

I've been keeping an eye on radar throughout the night. Was amazing to see Delaware getting dumped on non-stop. Storm has been slowly and steadily pulling away for a while now. Probably just flurries by daybreak. https://radar.weather.gov/station/kdox/standard

Laurel Delaware: Lady friend of mine in Laurel is a total snow freak. Not a weather geek but a snow freak. Anyway, she just told me the wind made snowballs in her backyard. I said that sounds pretty weird ... so she sent me this pic:

Speaking of "incredible," I actually once lived in the tiny town of Fenwick, Delaware! Was in a small mobile home park called "Cape Windsor" on the left hand side just over the Rt. 54 bridge with canals along our few streets that opened to the bay giving a fantastic view of Ocean City. Long ago, I think early '90s? We had a bona-fide blizzard with heavy snow and storm force winds on the coast. Went to full white-out conditions. Small street in front was blown free of snow while a drift reached to my roof. Beach blizzards are at the top of the charts!
